Microsoft and design aren’t exactly antonyms but for Apple lovers it might as well be true. The new wireless arc mouse might help change some of those perceptions, though the devotion to design may only go skin deep.

The form is certainly sleek and impressive, but one has to wonder about the effectiveness of this device for improving mobile computing. It cuts down on about 40% of the bulk but still has to be carried in pocket or bag, and has a limited battery life (some estimates say 10-20 hours).

It would seem like a product like the Mogo mobile mouse is far better suited for mobile work as it stows in your PC’s card slot and even recharges itself while in there. So you don’t have tp worry about how much battery life is left on your arc mouse. At least both are wireless.

So if you want to look cool go with the Microsoft mouse, and if you want to be productive on the go then go with the Mogo.
